The most common solutions are to either use the substitutions on the
m0n0wall's DNS Forwarder (give the m0n0wall the internal IP's for the
FQDN) or use a local DNS that gives out the internal IP for the FQDN.
The choice depends on how you are using DNS on your internal network. If
you use the m0n0wall for your local DNS or if you use the m0n0wall as a
forwarder for your local DNS (Bind or other) - you can use the
substitutions on the m0n0wall. If you ignore the m0n0wall DNS completely
- you will have to create a stub zone for the domain you substitute the
internal IPs for.
